School of Nursing
The School of Nursing at Western Illinois University is committed to educating future professional nurses who are clinically competent using evidenced based practice as the norm, capable of critical thinking using information and information technology to design and redesign care and care systems, and ethically and legally accountable for their actions.
There is a severe shortage of nurses in the United States and worldwide. The demand for more and better health care is greater now than any time in the past. There is a global nurse labor market that will continue to grow. Graduates can anticipate employment in a number of positions locally, in the state and nationwide. For those who have fluency in another language, there is the possibility of employment abroad. For those interested in the military, the Air Force, Army and Navy have excellent programs for nurses.
